I'm surprised i was only the second bidder tbh :scratch: You should have seen my face light up when i realised the other person bidding was a n00b to ebay with 2 feedbacks :D I guess he/she knows what sniping is about now even though i do it manually - stuff using a program :rolleyes:

I should imagine that's about how much this will cost to fix even if the transformer is stuffed or all the output transistors :)

Good luck & nice work with the record deck, me, i'm going the CD route ;)

I did cd in my £55 system at Scalford. I thought I might try something different. I have an idea for a pc based system using an old pc I was given and a touchscreen monitor that was getting thrown out as the psu had blown. It's a bit drawing board at the moment. Will see how it goes.

I found a pair of Project speaker stands in the loft. I'm happy to donate these for everybody to use along with my £5 rack if that suits.

A little something that might enter the fray ;)

Loadsa money left still :cool:

:lolsign: That amp just arrived ;) Mains fuse was blown so fitted the spare that was in the holder on the combined IEC/fuse mains connector &....

:rave: :mex:

Chuffed :cool:

Boxed as new with instructions & the outer box as well :champagne:

Nice one. That's a lot of watts for not a lot of money. It sometimes amazes me that people don't think of simple stuff like fuses. But his loss and all that...

Good grief........ now that's what I call a bargain :stalks:

Well tbh i don't think the seller spotted it ;) It was a combined IEC input with a fuseholder built in & it didn't say "fuse" on the fuseholder :rolleyes: Obviously i knew what it was as soon as i saw it as i have seen it all before :eyebrows:

I just levered it out, removed the blown fuse & fitted the spare that happened to be in part of it :lolsign:

Yep, bargain & i bet it doesn't sound bad either as it's not a piece of junk like some PA amps :)

Just noticed that it says AC Input & fuse printed just below it on the back panel... Ah well... No idea how it was missed then :scratch:

You have to laugh at this from his listing description;

Could be useful for spare parts or someone electrically minded who knows how to repair these things.

:doh: feel a bit sorry for him really, especially as he seemed to like it!

Ah, yes Tim in a way i agree ;) However for every one that loses some sellers gain :rolleyes: the Receiver i bought/won previously arrived in super condition, but with the whole power amplifier section missing :steam:

Having looked carefully at the item condition for "spares or repair" it appears that bits can be missing & it's still ok :steam:

So i got a pre amp with 200W PSU for £1.20, i actually wanted to get the whole thing working minus the radio :rolleyes:

Bit of a disappointment but there you go, win some, lose some..

E2A:- i haven't bothered finding out if it works yet either, so other things might be duff!

Did you look inside the box to see if anything is there?
